Why do my clothes only catch on door handles and similar when I’m angry?

I want to know who the people are who pick up their dog's poo, put it in a poo bag and then fling the poo bag into a hedge or a tree.

Why would anyone do that?!

If you're a poo bag flinger, please explain yourself.

Omg so true... what on earth? They go to the trouble of picking up the steaming shit but then throw the BAG on the floor.... why???

Why my safe place is so well hidden when it comes to getting whatever it was I put there! If it's the first place to come to mind to keep something safe, why isn't it the first place I look when I need it?!

Why, as soon as I sit down to watch something, guaranteed the adverts will come on/as soon as I'm listening to YouTube with earbuds on my phone, as soon as I leave my phone, the 4mins long, loud AF, adverts start. Surely this is a conspiracy, it can't be a coincidence, I refuse to believe it.

Why my DH feels compelled to stand beside anyone I'd avoid in the supermarket. I'm there to shop, not have a 5min conversation with anyone I know... But guarantee he'll stand beside one of them and shout me over before I have a chance to notice them there! He must add an extra half hour on to our shopping trips, why does he do it...?! On the same supermarket note, anyone with the lurgy, why do they cough the moment they're passing me?! Hold that germ spray in, I'm like a beacon for anyone who's ill.

Speaking of decorated trees full of 💩... After picking the poop up from my yard, lazily wearing flipflops after it had been raining... I slipped down the steps leading to the bin and after landing on my bum hard, quickly shooting back up on to my feet incase anyone had seen.... Where tf did that bag full of crap go?? I even checked to see if I'd landed on it! Not a clue and I looked everywhere within a 12ft radius... None of the neighbours said anything about a mystery bag of shite turning up either so 🤷

Also, Bigfoot. Oh! I used to watch a show about people who went missing and were never found... Where are they? The Missing 411 thing too, where do people just disappear to when they were so close to others? I know the most obvious answer is usually the right answer but I'd like to know for sure.

I know lost socks are a universal phenomenon, but our family sock count has gone down massively since we got a golden retriever with a serious sock habit.

Tanktanktank · 05/03/2024 18:42

Definitely the ironing board.

On top of your head? That's where I usually find mine.

Why have I married not just one, not even two, but 3 dickheads who are genetically hopeless with money ?

Why office buildings are designed with next to no meeting rooms? Every. Single. Office without fail.

Just why?

More in line with the tone of the thread, where is my black top?

Seriously, where? Not in the drawers (mine, DH's or DC's), not in the washing basket, not drying.

I found mine after, literally years. I reckon 5 or 6 years. It was at the bottom of DS4's drawer. When I asked him why he hadn't taken it out, or told me it was there, he said, "Well Mum, it's not exactly the sort of thing I'd notice." 😤

Dontcallmescarface · 05/03/2024 19:00

Why does the washing machine beep to tell me it's done it's job so demands my attention just as I'm about to sit done with a cuppa. I swear it's the white goods equivalent of " Mum, mum , muuuuuuum!!!!!!"

That does sound excessively annoying. Do they at least keep each other entertained while you are trying to do the accounts?

I don’t do it, but my mum does. She picks it up on the way back. So she doesn’t have to carry it on the whole walk. She hides it behind a tree or something though, not hang it from a branch

mnahmnah · 05/03/2024 19:05

Where the missing pop up pirate sword is. We even moved house and didn’t find it

I came here to say this too!

Where the other sock goes? I knew I put both socks into the washing machine but only one came out 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Inside the sleeve of pyjamas normally

Shetlands · 05/03/2024 19:27

How can so many people here have lost their ironing boards? Do you all live in mansions with hundreds of cupboards and a maze-like basement?

thecatsthecats · 05/03/2024 19:32

My black school trousers went missing once. The comfortable, fashionable pair.

My mum was adamant that I'd lost them at school. I was adamant that she was punishing me by taking the cool pair away. She insisted that she had no idea why they were cooler than the others.

Impasse.

Weeks go by before we realise that the thing we all assumed was a black binbag blown onto a tree 30m away from the house was in fact my errant trousers.

Where are my kitchen tongs?

Toomuchgoingon79 · 05/03/2024 19:44

Where do all the socks and forks go?? I have a laundry basket of odd socks, and loads of teaspoons and knives but only 6 forks- I have 5 sets, as I keep needing to buy them for the bloody forks!
